.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
Silcd is a server for SILC, Secure Internet Live Conferencing network\&.
.PP 
.SH "OPTIONS"

.PP 
\fB-d\fP        Enable debugging (Implies -F)
.PP 
\fB-D\fP \fILEVEL\fP  Enable debug messages of level \fILEVEL\fP and lower (Implies -F)
.PP 
\fB-x\fP        Enable hexdumps (Implies -d)
.PP 
\fB-F\fP        Don\'t fork\&.  Run silcd on foreground\&.
.PP 
\fB-h\fP        Display help message
.PP 
\fB-V\fP        Display version
.PP 
\fB-C\fP \fIPATH\fP   Create new public key pair\&. See \fBKEY GENERATION\fP for options\&.

.SH "KEY GENERATION" 
\fB-C\fP must be followed directly with a path to directory into which the
private and public keys will be written to\&. When generating new key pair 
for silcd (\fB-C\fP), the following extra switches apply:
.PP 
\fB--pkcs\fP=\fIPKCS\fP       Set the public key algorithm of public key pair\&.  For example \fBrsa\fP\&.
.PP 
\fB--bits\fP=\fIVALUE\fP      Set the length of public key pair, in bits\&.
.PP 
\fB--identifier\fP=\fIID\fP   Set \fIID\fP as public key identifier\&.
.PP 
The identifier has the format of:
.PP 
UN=<username>, HN=<hostname or IP>, RN=<real name>, E=<email>,
O=<organization>, C=<country>
.PP 
Both UN and HN are mandatory, all the rest are optional but recommended\&.
If no \fB--identifier\fP is used, an identifier will be created automatically\&.
.PP 
Example:
.PP 
\fBsilcd -C /etc/silcd --identifier\fP="UN=foobar, HN=foo\&.bar\&.com, 
RN=Foo T\&. Bar, E=foo@bar\&.com, C=FI"
.PP 
.SH "FILES" 
There are two configuration files for silcd: 
\fI/etc/silc/silcd\&.conf\fP for server configuration and
\fI/etc/silc/silcalgs\&.conf\fP for SIM (SILC Modules) configuration\&. 
Do note that silcalgs\&.conf is only needed if cryptographic algorithms are 
built as separate modules\&.
